A cute little hotel with friendly staff. The rooms were clean and free tea/coffee were available in the room. The parking is free through registration. I can’t comment on breakfast because we didn’t need one but the location is good and major supermarkets are located nearby.

The room, while dated, was spotless. The bed was comfortable and the shower was lovely. Only issue I had was I needed 2 pillows and reception was a bit too far away for me to go get one. The staff were so helpful and it was a pleasant stay. Breakfast was fantastic.
